<p>The single function in this section can be used to get the font format. Note that this information is not needed normally; however, there are special cases (like in PDF devices) where it is important to differentiate, in spite of FreeType's uniform API.</p>
<div class="section">
<h3 id="FT_Get_Font_Format">FT_Get_Font_Format</h3>
<p>Defined in FT_FONT_FORMATS_H (freetype/ftfntfmt.h).</p>

FT_EXPORT( <span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="keyword">char</span>* )
<b>FT_Get_Font_Format</b>( <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Face">FT_Face</a> face );

FT_Get_X11_Font_Format( <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Face">FT_Face</a> face );
</pre>
<p>Return a string describing the format of a given face. Possible values are ‘TrueType’, ‘Type 1’, ‘BDF’, ‘PCF’, ‘Type 42’, ‘CID Type 1’, ‘CFF’, ‘PFR’, and ‘Windows FNT’.</p>
<p>The return value is suitable to be used as an X11 FONT_PROPERTY.</p>

<h4>return</h4>
<p>Font format string. NULL in case of error.</p>
